Valentine’s Day 2019 Gift Guide

While the heart-shaped boxes of chocolate may roll out right after New Year’s, now is actually the time to start thinking about Valentine’s Day gifts (and plans in general). It’s probably too late to make a reservation at the hottest spot in town, so cook something romantic at home. And lock down the perfect gift for your boyfriend, girlfriend, just plain friend, your mom, or even yourself, ASAP. Even if you hate Valentine’s Day with a passion, it’s still a great excuse to show a little love.

These Valentine’s Day gift guides are full of exciting, adorable, inspiring, and just plain delicious options for her, for him, for you, for everyone—whether you crave something sweet, savory, expensive, practical, or just plain unusual. We’ll be updating the list every day with new ideas, so you’re sure to find the perfect present to show you care. Don’t forget about Galentine’s Day, either. (And be sure to check out our Valentine’s Day giveaway on Instagram too; three lucky winners will get lots of goodies from Hotel Chocolat!)

Last Minute Valentine’s Day Gifts

Your Amazon Prime account can save you from a snafu (can’t always say the same for the grocery store candy aisle). Lots of the other guides on this list also include Prime-eligible options, but these two are dedicated to last-minute gifts that don’t seem like they are.

You can find plenty of sweet, funny, and thoughtful gifts for $25 and under (sometimes way under), as these items prove. And most are available on Amazon Prime, so you can get them on short notice too! See our Valentine’s Day 2019 Gift Guide: Gifts Under $25.

Lovely gifts for your favorite ladies, because you should never underestimate the importance of girlfriends; be sure to remind them you know how lucky you are to have your besties in your life. See our Galentine’s Day 2019 Gift Guide.
